The enslaved Josiah Henson escaped to Canada in 1830. Henson’s 1849 autobiography inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe’s popular 1852 novel, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” which is credited with building support for the anti-slavery movement that led to the American Civil War. Henson led 118 other Africans out of enslavement.
